to purge the air out of the 4.0 L motor, start with a full cooling system, a cold motor, and the Jeep parked with the nose pointed down hill.
The idea is to have the front top of the valve cover lower than the rear bottom of the valve cover.
If you have not met all three conditions, STOP
serious injury or failure can occur
locate the coolant temperature sending unit, at the back of the motor, driver's side
disconnect the sensor
using a deep socket, loosen the sensor and monitor the escaping air and coolant until it is only coolant
tighten the sensor, connect the leads, and start the motor, checking for leaks
repeat twice more
You will find the evap purge valve on the passenger side firewall between the A/C drier and the heater hoses. There are small vacuum lines and some wires attached to it. The canister is inside the left rear fender, behind the tire.
First you want to smoke test the evap system to find were the problem really is . On a 97 Stratus with a 2.5 motor the charcoal box and purge valve is located under the passenger fender right next to the wiper fluid container.
Gross evaps leak. Caused by, the emission control. common parts are the gas cap, purge solenoid, vapor canister, o2 , or cat converter. go get a smoke test.
Reading Born To Rock? No They are not, at least not to a giant magnitude. I'm sure there is a punk rock band called Purge somewhere out there.
Im having the same problem, that means several things. Evap canister or hose cracked/ not connected. SO check your fuel lines going to and from Purge or vent solenoid defective Vacumn leak at engine. Let me know if you get any mroe info.
On the bottom of the radiator it a purge valve
This is an indication that either the a/c system is over charged or the cooling fan is not working.......
If you mean "purge" the air out of the cooling system, then loosen the top radiator hose at the radiator. Pour coolant mixture into the hose until most of the air is purged and replace.
Have you done a rebuild? Is this why your trying to purge the cooling system? Typically you will need to run the vehicle till the temp gauges reads near overheating, then allow the vehicle to nearly cool and remove the radiator cap. This allows air pockets to be pushed through the system. You can also run it to normal operating temperature and slowly crack the radiator cap allowing the system to expell excess pressure.
To bleed air from the cooling system, take off the radiator cap and let the engine run. IF there is no radiator cap(some vehicle manufacturers have done away with them, just add coolant to the overflow tank to the correct level. The cooling system will purge air out on it's own
After leaving the purge unit in a low-pressure centrifugal system, the refrigerant typically flows back into the evaporator to continue the cooling cycle. This helps maintain the balance of refrigerant throughout the system and ensures efficient operation.
there should be a little purge valve located on the thermostat housing just crack it open and start your engine and you see antifreeze start to come let it flow for about 30 seconds then close it. That should purge out the air.
This should happen automatically. Are you losing coolant, is the cooling system leaking somewhere? Have you just changed the coolant? Unless there is a leak, the system should purge by itself.
As soon as the proper amount of coolant is in the system the light should shut off. Be sure to properly purge the cooling system of air. what if light still does not shut off
park your car on a steep hill and let run until you see or hear all the air bubbles come out
To purge air from the cooling system of an Audi V8, start by ensuring the engine is cool. Remove the coolant reservoir cap and fill it to the recommended level. Then, run the engine with the heater set to high until it reaches operating temperature, periodically squeezing the upper radiator hose to help release trapped air. Finally, keep an eye on the coolant level, adding more if necessary as air bubbles escape.
To air purge the cooling system on a 4.8 Vortec engine, first ensure the radiator is filled with coolant. Start the engine and let it run with the heater set to maximum heat, allowing the thermostat to open. As the engine warms up, monitor the coolant level in the radiator and add coolant as necessary to prevent air pockets. Additionally, you can open the bleeder valves (if equipped) to release trapped air until a steady stream of coolant flows out.
